The famed Pingtang Bridge, built in 2016 and completed in 2019, is a colossal cable-supported viaduct with a span of 2,135 meters and at its peak is taller than the Eiffel Tower.

It enjoys a reputation as a bridge which combines strength and beauty, and can be regarded as a model of canyon bridge construction by integrating the cultural elements of Guizhou ethnic minorities into the design of the bridge tower, forming a dynamic overall shape.

In addition, the service area supporting Pingtang Bridge has created hundreds of jobs, which not only provide high-quality traffic service for passengers, but also promotes the economic development of local populations.
